It takes one key to open the car, and two of those doohickies to start
the
car with the one key that opened the car. I don't understand why.

Anyway, I borrowed a friend's Corolla for the weekend and just now I
had to
ask her to let me back into the car because the car locks itself after an
unknown period of time without any user intervention whatsoever.

What's with that?
She says the car locks itself all the time on its own schedule.

Is there a way for her to turn this off so it can be normal?
Is there a way to make it so that just the key starts the car?

My wife has a 2016 Camry and the only thing you need to start the car is
the key.Â* The doors don't lock by themselves.Â* RTFM, google it or pester
your Toyota service department.

Of course, we never leave the keys in the car because there are too many
thieving democrats lurking in the bushes and/or hiding under rocks.


I have a 2016 Forester with ignition key and chauffeur key. I wanted to
whittle down the fob on the chauffeur key to carry in my wallet but was
told it contains a chip in it needed to start the car.

With all the electronics in a car today you may be able to get into the
software and reprogram some items. I did it recently with the oil
change warning light coming on too soon as dealer had set it to sell
twice the oil changes needed.
